Chirpy for iPhone -

Chirpy for iPhone is a Twitter application that focuses strictly on direct messages. High Order Bit, the creators of Twitbit, have designed this app with the intention of it being a replacement to the Messages app. They have focused on bringing nearly instantaneous push notifications and a stripped down, yet beautiful, interface to make direct messages quick and easy.

Frequently using Boxcar, I can't tell if something is a mention or a DM. Then I'm forced to open up my Twitter client and go searching before being able to answer - and too often I've answered a DM with a mention. Oups! Chirpy would be nice.

I would like to have chirpy b/c it's more convenient...I rarely respond and/or check sms...but if I get a FB or a Twitter alert them I'm responding as fast as possible..so with chirpy being inter-graded with twitter it'll help me a lot with the delay time that are between my sms.

Cause it makes a perfect couple with the twitter app ..... On a serious note would like to use it cause
1 looks to be fast
2 easy to use
3 it makes tweeting even more fun
4 looks like will make the whole tweeter thing look clearer rather than every thing looking up jumbled

I'm always looking for better ways to do things with my iPhone. Lately, I've been on an SMS binge -- twitter, facebook, Google SMS, etc. And I'm always looking to get rid of straggling apps. Armed with an app like this, GVoice and a few others, I can stuff a lot of basic apps into my MISC folder, use multi-tasking aps and leave home screen territory uncluttered.

I would love this! My family & I have been looking for a good way to eliminate texting from our AT&T plans, & Twitter is the best way. But all the twitter apps make you fumble through the other features. All we want is the direct messages w/ push.
If I can try this out & it works, I've got about 8 people ready to buy the app!

What does this app do better than messages to be worth $1.99? It looks similar and does the exact same thing, except it involves Twitter. Just seems silly and it makes no sense to me. I suppose it's more like an instant messenger in the fact that you may not want some people to have your cell number.

Great replacement for SMS messages and I consider it universally compatible with all other phones making it a great solution to establish communication between persons. Very usefull! Best regards from Caracas Venezuela.

I can see a need for this. I don't see Twitter providing fast message turnaround, tho. Does Twitter push direct messages out or do you still have to poll Twitter for them once every three minutes? Would it be faster to use Facebook?

I would love to have chirpy! I collect the best Twitter apps and would be honored to have this one. It looks really neat and I wish other twitter apps had fast Push and sometimes have Push at all. Twitter is so addictive and these apps make it hard for us to live in the real world, not cyber world. ;)
Pretty Please with a cherry on top?

Well... I guess a good reason would be that I signed up for Twitter about two years ago, but rarely used it. I have recently downloaded a free Twitter client, but it is not very user friendly. This seems like it would be a great program for me to use to really get into Twitter.
Also, I will be getting the Iphone 4 sometime this week and would love a new app to play with on it (finally upgrading from my 8GB 3G).
Thank you!
